Piter, It is also a piece of American history, an exodus from San Francisco and the 60’s scene there and one of the many communes that came out of that time period and the bus tour that went through many towns, as Stephen spoke at colleges and churches. So, a fair amount of people have, at least, heard of the Farm through that or through later activities, such as the midwives or Plenty, a charitable organization based on the Farm. But not too many people know about actual life on the Farm. They may have read some of the books, but there are many stories from the people who lived there. I wish more would write their stories, too. Thanks, again, for this site, Cliff.
I hope you are still writing, Cliff. Weather’s getting nice, so it’s no doubt harder to stay inside. I guess we’ll look forward to the book for the rest?
Hi Cliff,
Not sure if we’ve ever met. I’m Chris from the Farm. Doug’s son-in-law. Got your link off the farmlist and just wanted to say that these are great stories man!!! I’m lovin it! I just subscribed and I’m lookin forward to the next post!
welcome Chris. I’m one of the relative blabbermouths in this little discussion. my aunt was one of the eldest people who made the Caravan and early Farm (she died i n 2001) and I’ve been fascinated by Farm culture and its permutations over time and now space for the decades between then and now. Cliff writes well, doesn’t he? really captures the spirit of those heady days of the early 70s.
I;d love to hear your observations and reflections on present-day Farm culture and your wife’s upbringing on the Farm too.

I started this blog for personal therapy and because I think the story needs to be told, even if only through my personal viewpoint.
